Single Barrel Saturday returns with more than 300 Ohio locations, a curated lineup that refuses to repeat itself, and a community energy that feels like bourbon's version of a block party. We brought Ann on to take us behind the scenes: how stores opt in, why allocation rules exist, what makes Ohio the fourth-largest American whiskey market, and how her team balances profiles so every table finds something to love.We get tactical without losing the fun. You'll learn how the OHLQ locator really works, when a UPC reveals a specific barrel (hello, Willet), and why some bottles land in waves months after the pick. We map price-to-proof-to-flavor value plays, call out sleeper hits—think a high-proof, double-digit Horse Soldier and under-the-radar Larceny—and explain the logic behind broader favorites like Dickel 15 that fly early because of low yields and near-barrel-strength bottling. If finishes are your thing, we dig into the flavor impact of Mizanara oak, Calvados, Moscatel, and Armagnac through the Dark Arts lineup and beyond.We also break down how Ohio builds its pick teams—staff, podcasters, bar owners, and seasoned enthusiasts—to triangulate barrels that are good for different reasons: classic, candy-coated, spice-forward, and curveball. Expect real talk on camping vs. store-hopping, looping etiquette, and the smartest first-pick priorities if you're eyeing Willet purple tops or a lone Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond single barrel. It's a field guide for a day that's equal parts hunt and hangout, where people open bottles in line and trade tips like set lists.Ready to plan your route?

We chased that question all night and landed on Old Ezra 7—a seven-year, 117-proof pour with copper color, brown sugar on the nose, and a cinnamon hug that doesn't quit. Before we pop the cork, we set the stage with a quick tour of craft roots in the Ohio River Valley and why provenance still matters when you're choosing bottles that feel authentic, not algorithm-made.From there we take you inside Ohio's Single Barrel Saturday—a statewide release day with a real selection team, fewer sample-box picks, and more collaboration with distillers and blenders. Think strategy over luck: where to line up, how to plan, and why the experience is as much about community as it is about limited bottles. We also open the doors to our Crystal Glencairn Club: limited spots, a high-end annual tasting with food pairings, first access to barrel picks, and current vouchers for a Maker's Mark Private Select. If you've been waiting for a way in, this is it.Then the main event: Old Ezra 7 vs the usual heavyweights like Booker's and Rare Breed. We break down the mash bill lineage, price consistency, and the surprise factor of a bottle that still rings up at $39.99. On the palate we get caramel, vanilla, dark cherry, and char, followed by that signature cinnamon heat. One of us scores taste and finish a perfect five, the other holds a firm four, averaging to 17/18—rare air for a bottle at this price. We finish with a literal bottle kill, travel plans, our holiday party at Gervasi, and a tease of a 12 Days of Christmas giveaway that will put real whiskey in your hands.If you love value pours, statewide release hunts, and honest tasting notes without the fluff, you're home.

Jim and Todd welcome Joe Beatrice, Founder, and Tripp Stimson, Chief Whiskey Scientist, from the highly acclaimed Barrel Craft Spirits to the studio. While their award-winning whiskeys have graced the show before, this episode offers listeners a chance to hear directly from the minds behind the brand. Joe and Tripp share the origin story of Barrel Craft Spirits, their unique philosophy as non-distilling producers (NDPs), and their intricate approach to sourcing, blending, and finishing exceptional spirits. The tasting kicks off with a Barrel Foundation Single Barrel release, clocking in at 105.8 proof. Tripp explains this expression builds upon their original Foundation bourbon (their first product bottled below cask strength at 100 proof). It involves selecting unique barrels, creating a micro-blend just above proofing strength, re-barreling that blend into a single cask, and allowing it further maturation in a specific rickhouse location before final bottling. This particular barrel, sourced from Indiana, offers delightful notes of stone fruit like peach and apricot. Next up is the Barrel Foundation Double Barrel. This takes select whiskeys used in the original Foundation blend (aged 5-9 years) and finishes them in new, heavily toasted American oak barrels. The result is a darker, richer expression compared to the single barrel, showcasing notes of milk chocolate, apple, and nuanced pepper, demonstrating the transformative power of a secondary maturation in toasted oak. Joe Beatrice then takes listeners back nearly 14 years to the brand's inception. He recounts a random distillery visit sparking the idea, quickly realizing he wanted to build a brand, not necessarily a distillery, focusing intensely on sourcing and blending the best possible liquid. He discusses the early days, embracing cask strength when few others did, championing transparency as an NDP during a time of consumer skepticism, and gambling on the idea that drinkers would crave variety and new experiences over consistency – a gamble that clearly paid off. Tripp Stimson shares his extensive background in biochemistry and spirits R&D, explaining how his path converged with Joe's. They bonded over a shared philosophy, recognizing the immense challenge and capital required to build a distillery versus the creative freedom and market potential of focusing on sourcing and blending expertise, drawing parallels to the esteemed merchant bottler tradition in Scotland. The conversation delves deep into the art and science of their blending process. The core team, consisting of Joe, Tripp, and Nick Christensen, starts with whiteboard concepts and intent but allows the whiskeys themselves to guide the final creation. They meticulously sample and catalog thousands of barrels, developing a unique shorthand to understand the characteristics imparted by different distilleries, mash bills, ages, yeast strains, distillation styles, cooperage, and even micro-climates from various maturation locations across the country. They speak of layering flavors like building a symphony, using different barrels (young and old) to "fill the gaps" across the palate – from the initial taste to the mid-palate complexity and the lingering finish – iterating until the blend reaches its optimal saturation point of complexity without any single component overpowering the others. They also explain their "derived mash bill" calculation, providing consumers with valuable data points even for complex blends. The third tasting features Barrel Bourbon Batch 37, a blend of 8-to-15-year-old bourbons from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, bottled at 111.38 proof. Joe describes these numbered batches as their flagship line, representing a high bar for their blending prowess. Tripp elaborates on the value of incorporating significantly aged whiskeys (like 15-year-old) not necessarily for the age statement itself, but for the specific, nuanced qualities they bring, balancing them with younger components to achieve a complete, well-rounded, and complex flavor profile that avoids being overly oaked. Finally, they pour the Barrel Cask Finish Series: Armagnac Finish. This series highlights the interaction between their whiskey blends and specific cask types. This expression uses bourbons aged 7-to-15 years, finished in Armagnac casks for up to two years. Tripp emphasizes their patient approach to finishing, sometimes waiting years for the whiskey and cask to fully integrate and reach their peak potential, rather than adhering to rigid timelines. The result is a rich, complex whiskey redolent with dark fruit notes like fig and raisin, perfect for contemplative sipping. Throughout the episode, Joe and Tripp offer fascinating insights into the evolution of the whiskey market, the rise of the educated consumer, navigating market fluctuations, and Barrel Craft Spirits' strategy of continuous innovation and quality across various price points.

Recorded at Larrikin Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, this episode features Greg Keeley, the Australian distiller crafting exceptional bourbon in the heart of Kentucky. We sit down to taste and talk about Larrikin Delta 5, a single barrel bourbon that represents Greg's mission to merge Australian boldness with Kentucky tradition. We discuss what makes the Delta 5 single barrel unique, the art of single barrel selections, and how Greg's journey — from the Navy to distilling — continues to shape Larrikin's identity and flavour. If you're passionate about bourbon innovation, authenticity, and stories that connect continents, this one's for you.  

Jim and Todd take the show on the road to the beautiful Elkwood Farm in Midway, Kentucky, home of Bluegrass Distillers. They sit down with friend of the show Sam Rock for his third appearance to discuss the distillery's incredible evolution and taste through a stellar lineup of their unique whiskeys. Sam shares the story of their new home, a historic farm they purchased in 2020 and transformed into a premier grain-to-glass distillery, complete with a stunning, speakeasy-style tasting room. The tasting journey begins with Bluegrass Distillers' signature 7-Year-Old Blue Corn Bourbon. Sam delves into the agricultural challenges and rewards of growing their own non-GMO blue corn, which imparts a distinctively nutty and balanced flavor compared to traditional yellow corn. This Bottled-in-Bond expression, made on their original pot still, offers a fantastic mouthfeel and a profile driven by the primary grain, a testament to the influence of unique corn varietals. Next, they sample the Midway 'Lee's Branch' Rye, a 7-year-old rye finished in toasted French oak barrels. This expression is part of the 'Midway' brand, a line of finished ryes that pays homage to the history of their new hometown. The hosts explore its complex notes of minty spice, toasty marshmallow, and a hint of Christmas spice, making for a perfect sipping rye. The third pour is a special single-barrel selection of their Toasted Oak Bourbon, bottled for the Bourbon Burn bike ride. Sam explains their double-barreling process, which involves reconditioning and toasting their own used barrels to bring sugars to the surface, creating a consistently sweet and balanced profile with notes of s'mores, toasted marshmallow, and rich chocolate. The lineup continues with a spectacular Spanish Oak Finished Bourbon. Sam recounts his journey to Spain during the pandemic-era barrel shortage, where he discovered a family-run cooperage that handcrafts barrels from aged staves. This 11-year-old sourced bourbon is finished in these unique Spanish Oak barrels, resulting in a deep mahogany color and a rich, savory flavor profile with a spicy, drying finish that captivates the hosts. To top off an incredible tasting, Sam brings out a bonus pour: a phenomenal 18-Year-Old Bourbon. This well-aged whiskey defies expectations, presenting not just oak and leather but a surprising and delightful burst of fruit, including notes of burnt cherry, sweet cream, and holiday fruitcake. The episode is a deep dive into what makes a modern distillery thrive, touching on the evolution of the bourbon consumer, the importance of authenticity, and the exciting future for Bluegrass Distillers, including plans for a restaurant, a bourbon club, and community events at their beautiful Midway location.

In this episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we open a fresh bottle of Nulu Maple Brûlée Single Barrel, a Kentucky Bourbon Festival pick that delivers rich, dessert-like flavour in every sip. We talk through how the maple brûlée process works, the unique way barrels are treated, and why this whiskey has a sticky mouthfeel and dessert-style notes like sticky date pudding, butterscotch, and dark chocolate. We also share the story of why we regretted not picking up a bottle last year — and why this year, we made sure to grab one early. This is one of the richest and most unique bourbons we've tried, and a perfect example of what makes KBF single barrel picks so exciting.   Chapters 00:00:14 – Fresh bottle pop to kick things off 00:02:19 – Introducing Nulu Maple Brûlée Single Barrel (KBF pick) 00:04:19 – How maple brûlée finishing works (barrel & syrup process) 00:06:21 – What “brûléeing” a barrel really means 00:07:23 – Dessert-like notes: sticky date, caramel, chocolate 00:08:20 – Regrets from last year's KBF and why we grabbed this bottle early 00:09:30 – Tasting notes, mouthfeel & why it's a festival favourite

This week, host Todd Ritter flies solo while Jim Shannon is on vacation in Europe. He's joined by special guests Dude Pool and JD Fritches, two of the hosts from the popular Bourbon Hunters podcast. The guys kick things off by tasting their very first legacy distillery barrel pick as a podcast, a fantastic Old Forester 100-proof single barrel selected from Warehouse I, floor two. The second pour of the episode is a special single barrel from Pursuit Spirits, a pick that was originally made by bourbon personality Fred Minnick before he had to return the barrel. The Bourbon Hunters crew cheekily named the bottle "Minnick's Muffins" in his honor and share the story of how they were able to acquire the unique barrel, which features a creme brulee stave. Dude and JD share their personal "aha" moments that got them hooked on America's native spirit. Dude's journey began after a six-year hiatus from alcohol for health reasons; a friend introduced him to bourbon mixed with ginger ale, which helped him start recognizing the nuanced flavors he'd missed when taking whiskey as a shooter. He eventually evolved to drinking it neat to relax and reflect at the end of the day. JD's passion for collecting was ignited during the COVID-19 pandemic when his boss introduced him to the world of allocated bottles. He recalls overpaying for his first bottles of Eagle Rare and Angel's Envy at Justin's House of Bourbon but found his true love for the hobby in the camaraderie of sharing pours with fellow enthusiasts. Dude shares how The Bourbon Road podcast's easy-going style inspired him to start his own show. He jumped in headfirst, bought the gear, and recorded the first three episodes on the road with co-host Tyler during their inaugural trip to the Bourbon Trail. They quickly found that listeners gravitated toward their off-topic conversations about football, movies, and their personal lives just as much as the bourbon talk. They describe their show as an "entertainment podcast while drinking bourbon," offering a different, more personal angle than a traditional review show. The crew has since grown to a "rotating crew" of four hosts—Dude, JD, Tyler, and Brett Brian—with frequent guest appearances from Jason Calori. Having just released their 350th episode, the hosts discuss how they balance the podcast with family and busy schedules. Dude treats their weekly recording session as a priority—a dedicated time to slow down and hang out with his friends. For JD, an "extreme extrovert" and a transplant to the area, the podcast has been a way to find his community and build some of his closest friendships. They share that their favorite episodes are often the ones where the whole crew gets together, the wheels come off, and the laughter is non-stop, or when a member tells an unforgettable personal story, like the time a co-host's "Code Brown" incident at a pool led to a barrel pick being named after it.

Diane gives listeners the ultimate insider's guide to the festival, taking place on Saturday, October 4, 2025. She reveals this year's title sponsor is the local and historic Benson Valley Bourbon.

These unique barrels were hand-selected by the Bourbon on the Banks team and will be prominently marked by 7-foot flags at the distilleries' tents. The expressions tasted on the show include: Angel's Envy Port Finish Single Barrel Pick: The tasting kicks off with this crowd-pleasing pour. The hosts discover inviting notes of campfire, overripe berries, and dark vanilla on the nose. The palate is savory and rich, carrying over those ripe berry notes from the fortified wine finish, making it a perfect pairing for a fine cigar. Casey Jones Distillery Single Barrel Rye: This selection comes with a great story—the picking team was tied, so they let the distillery make the final choice on this fantastic rye. It's described as a "bourbon drinker's rye" that surprised the panel during the blind selection. It features a complex nose of tobacco, mint chocolate, and honey, with a palate that delivers notes of candied orange and caramel apple. Bespoken Spirits 12-Year Single Barrel: A truly unique offering, this 12-year-old Barton-sourced bourbon is finished in Riesling wine barrels. It immediately impresses with a rich, aged nose of mature oak and concentrated fruit. The hosts praise it as an "exceptional whiskey," with a massively concentrated flavor profile that makes it a perfect special-occasion nightcap. Short Barrel 8-Year Single Barrel Bourbon: The tasting concludes with this powerhouse, an 8-year-old bourbon distilled at the former OZ Tyler distillery (now Green River) and bottled at a staggering 135.7 proof. Despite the high proof, it offers a beautifully complex palate with notes of milk chocolate, chewy cherry, burnt caramel, nougat, and a hint of sandalwood. Tune in for incredible stories, detailed tasting notes, and your complete guide to one of Kentucky's premier bourbon festivals. For those who want to attend, Diane urges listeners to act fast, as tickets for many events are limited or already sold out.

Send us a textBuried in the storied history of American whiskey lies an untold tale of innovation, mentorship, and the extraordinary impact of one man—Nearest Green. As the first African American master distiller in the United States, Green's legacy was nearly lost to time until the creation of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey.In this episode, we crack open the Uncle Nearest Black Label Single Barrel, bottled at a robust 123 proof, and dive deep into the fascinating history behind the brand. The story unfolds like a historical drama—Jack Daniel, as a young orphan sent to work as a chore boy, meets Nearest Green, an enslaved man with profound knowledge of distillation. Green teaches Daniel a special charcoal filtering technique from West Africa that would eventually become known as the Lincoln County Process—the defining characteristic that separates Tennessee whiskey from bourbon.As we sip this mahogany-colored spirit, we explore its grassy notes with hints of vanilla wafer sweetness and leathery undertones, discussing how the charcoal filtering affects the flavor profile. The whiskey delivers a quick heat that stays on the top of the mouth rather than giving that typical "Kentucky hug," leading to a grain-forward finish that sparked considerable debate about its overall balance and character.Beyond the liquid in our glasses, we examine the meteoric rise of Uncle Nearest as a brand—from its founding in 2017 to winning hundreds of awards and expanding to all 50 states and 12 countries in just a few years. However, this rapid growth has led to recent financial troubles, with reports of a $108 million loan default threatening the company's future.Whether you're fascinated by whiskey history, interested in supporting historically significant brands, or simply looking for your next premium bottle, join us for this enlightening conversation about a spirit that's more than just a drink—it's a long-overdue recognition of a pivotal figure in American whiskey heritage.

Fort Hamilton Distillery is located in Brooklyn, New York and was founded in 2016 by Alex Clark and his wife Amy Grindeland. We caught up with this dynamic duo during our recent trip to the Hoochenanny Whiskey and Music festival. Fort Hamilton strives to make an array of spirits, but the brand was founded on the premise of creating authentic New York style rye that was popular before prohibition. In this episode, you will get to hear our interview with Alex that took place at the festival and you will also get to here our opinion of their rye whiskey once we arrived back in Kentucky and revisited it. We've never done an episode like this for the podcast and you won't want to miss it. Alex is a fascinating individual and he brings an unparalleled energy to whiskey making and his brand. We had very limited experience with Fort Hamilton before visiting NY. If you aren't familiar with Fort Hamilton, we promise you will know about them very soon because they are doing some amazing things. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPVisit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your orderMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

Episode 154.2: Siblings, Inheritances, Kids Moving Out, College Pathway, Butt Bongos, Top 10 Movie Quotes, Munchkins, and New Riff Single Barrel

This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan crack open two big pours from Thirteenth Colony — a HAZMAT Double Oaked Single Barrel and the brand-new 2025 Cask Strength Southern Rye Whiskey. Before diving in, the guys chat about bottles, movies, and the never-ending Pixel vs. iPhone debate. On Whiskey World News, Bryan shares an email about A. Smith Bowman's newest Abraham Bowman release, this time finished with Hungarian Oak. And on What Whiskey Would You Choose?, Bryan asks: Which distillery do you choose — Four Roses or Heaven Hill?

This is The Beer Is Fundamental Show. This is Episode 146 and we want to welcome you once again to the NeighBeerHood where craft beer is always the talk of the town. We are your hosts, BT aka O-Beer-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Knight of craft beer and Lady T. There's a lot that is happening in the world of craft beer, spirits and wines. This is especially the case for liquor and spirits. We discuss these issues while sipping on Blanton's Single Barrel, Eagle Rare 10 Year, and Weller Special Reserve. Kentucky's bourbon and whiskey industry is in a downturn with several distilleries shrinking its workforce and closing a barrel-making plant in Louisville, Kentucky. The future of the reportedly billion-dollar, Black-owned whiskey brand, Uncle Nearest, is in receivership and facing the possibility of being totally taken over.

Today, the Boys imbibe on some bottles with bits of blackberry and barrel funk. Matt's barrel strength bourbon was a purchase from Slightly Toasted in Chicago, and Drew's Anejo was a gift from the folks at NOM 1414 at the Sabor y Cultura event in Chicago about a month ago. Find some similar bottles, invite your buds, plop down, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!

This week, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter venture down a sweeter path on The Bourbon Road podcast for a truly decadent and educational experience. They are joined by a very special guest, Nicole Patel, the founder and master chocolatier of the Austin-based Delysia Chocolatier. In a fascinating twist, Nicole reveals that her journey to becoming a chocolatier began after earning a master's degree in engineering. She discusses how her engineering mindset and a challenge to conquer the particular science of chocolate making—from tempering to managing temperature and humidity—led her to create her business. Throughout the episode, Nicole guides Jim and Todd through a blind tasting, pairing a variety of spirits with selections from her "History of Chocolate" tasting set without any advance knowledge of the whiskeys. She provides expert instruction on the proper way to experience the pairings: first tasting the bourbon, then letting a piece of chocolate melt on the tongue to appreciate its individual flavors, and finally, combining the two to see how they interact and transform one another.

Episode 152.2: Dagwood, Old Comics, Caring for Elderly Parents, Urinating Dogs, Epstein, Colbert Canceled, Corn Sweat, and Chestnut Farms Single Barrel

Five years ago, we released Episode #29 to coincide not only with Baker's Small Batch Bourbon becoming Baker's Single Barrel Bourbon, but also with Bourbon-Hall-of-Famer Baker Beam's 84th birthday. And now that Baker just turned 89, we figured we'd revisit the brand by highlighting its first line extension, a high-rye expression that was released just a few months ago. (And we also make a cocktail with it.) So, does it live up to the Baker name? Or does it disappoint at its price point? Tune in and find out!

Watch on YouTubeIn this episode of drinks and a movie podcast I'm ranking every single James Bond opening title song—From Russia with Love to No Time To Die. We're talking Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney, Adele, Billie Eilish, and everyone in between.. I'm sipping on a bold Elijah Craig Single Barrel store pick from Canyon City Liquor in Azusa, CA—a rich, spicy bourbon with deep caramel and oak notes as well as a hint of cream of wheat with brown sugar that's perfect for this iconic franchise. Which themes capture the essence of 007? Which ones fall flat? This is a deep dive into Bond music history, bourbon in hand.

Ok we have talked stills in the past. But never 3 chamber stills. They are unique and different and tend to make a very oily and viscous whiskey. Check it out, sorry it was raining hard in the shed so the mic might be a little hot or laggy. I tried to clean it up.Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MWZ4dGp2MzlucjVvdw==Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshamanA three-chamber still is a type of distillation apparatus, historically used for producing whiskey, particularly rye, in the mid-1800s and early 1900s. It features three separate chambers stacked vertically, each with a specific role in the distillation process. These stills are known for producing a heavier-bodied, aromatic spirit due to the way they extract flavor compounds. Here's a breakdown of the three-chamber still:Design:The still consists of a tall, column-like structure, often made of wood or copper, divided into three chambers. Function:Freshly fermented mash (or distiller's beer) is fed into the top chamber. Steam, generated from the bottom chamber, heats the mash, and vapor containing alcohol and flavor compounds rises to the next chamber. Each chamber has a valve for liquid to flow down to the chamber below. Extraction:The bottom chamber, initially filled with water and then with spent mash, is where steam extracts heavier oils and flavor compounds. Output:The vapor from the bottom chamber then passes through the middle and top chambers, stripping out alcohol and flavor from the mash in each. Historical Use:Three-chamber stills were popular for producing rye whiskey in the mid-1800s but largely disappeared after Prohibition. Why they are used:Flavor profile:Three-chamber stills are known for producing a heavy-bodied, oily, and aromatic spirit, often with lavender-like notes, making them suitable for rye whiskey. Efficiency:The design allows for efficient extraction of flavor compounds from the mash, resulting in a flavorful distillate. Batch process:Three-chamber stills are typically used in a batch process, meaning they are not continuously running, allowing for careful fractionation of heads, hearts, and tails. Modern Revival:Three-chamber stills are making a comeback in some distilleries as distillers seek to recreate the unique flavor profiles of pre-prohibition spirits. Leopold Bros is a notable example of a distillery reviving this style, using a meticulously engineered three-chamber still to produce their signature Three Chamber Rye. Leopold Bros Three Chamber RyeThe Revivial of a Lost American TraditionLeopold Bros. painstakingly re-engineered a Three Chamber Still from old manuscripts and grew the heritage grain Abruzzi rye that was favored by Pre-Prohibition distillers to resurrect this one-of-a-kind whiskey. ​The 2022 summer release of the Three Chamber Rye is a Single Barrel offering. Todd Leopold worked through our dunnage warehouse, searching for the best barrels that are at least 5 years old.He found some commonalities: rich aromas of peanut shell, maple syrup, cocoa nibs, and hazelnuts followed by wafts of fruits like plum, cherries, apricot and orange marmalade. In the finish, you will find the floral notes that are the hallmarks of Three Chamber Rye: lavender, rose, elderflower, and chamomile. Each barrel he selected has differing intensities of these notes and thus every bottle from this collection is marked with the barrel number and the date the barrel was filled. We hope you enjoy this rebirth of an American classic as much as we enjoyed making it.
